ROLE PURPOSE
The MONEV Manager is the technical lead for monitoring, evaluation and accountability across the KREASI program. The role is responsible for designing the project's M&E system, ensuring technical quality, and driving the use of M&E data to support adaptive management, donor accountability and continuous program improvement, in line with Save the Children's MEAL standards.
The Manager leads the design and operation of an integrated M&E system that captures performance against the KREASI Results Framework, supports evidence-based decision-making and adaptive management, and ensures accurate and timely reporting to the Global Partnership for Education (GPE), DFAT, and other stakeholders. This includes oversight of the project Monitoring Information System (DevResults), data quality assurance, indicator tracking, accountability mechanisms, and routine reflection processes for adaptive management.
The MONEV Manager provides direct line management and technical supervision to the Data Management Specialist and the Data Management Officer. The role works closely with KREASI’s Technical teams, Regional Managers, the Research, Learning and Knowledge Management Manager, and implementing partners to ensure M&E processes are integrated, practical, and aligned with the KREASI MEAL Handbook.
The position also plays a key role in ensuring monitoring evidence informs adaptation, partner reflection, and donor reporting, and that accountability mechanisms are inclusive and responsive. The role ensures coherence and synergy across KREASI components and with other Save the Children initiatives in Indonesia, as well as alignment with government and donor M&E approaches.
